Mum challenges eBay over Used Nappies!
When eBay changed their policy last month and no longer permitted the sale of used cloth nappies, hundreds of parents were left frustrated with no easy way to sell their child’s cloth nappies online.
eBay now class used cloth nappies as “adult material” and will no longer sell them. 5,000 angry parents have already signed an online petition complaining of the new policy.
Enter mum of two real nappy wearing toddlers, Sarah Bennett. When Sarah’s used nappy listing was removed from eBay, she spotted a gap in the market, and was inspired to set up The Used Nappy Company.
The Used Nappy Company offers an auction service uniquely specialising in the sale and purchase of used washable nappies. Sarah says ‘eBay closed the door to parents like us wanting to buy and sell second-hand washable nappies; we have opened the door again, and made the process much easier’.
Hot on the heels of the 11th Real Nappy Week, usednappies.co.uk is an exciting new facility parents will love. The online petition has shown demand is certainly out there for an easy to navigate, user-friendly auction site that listens to its customers – usednappies.co.uk promises to be just that.
Environmental issues are of course key at the moment. Real nappies can be used on subsequent children or can be resold; recycling and reselling real nappies is doubly eco-friendly!
Approximately 8 million disposable nappies are thrown away every day in the UK, with the majority of these ending up in landfill. Washable cloth nappies offer parents an alternative to disposables, at the same time, providing the opportunity to reduce waste and the impact on the environment.
